In one of the most awkward moments – so far – of the 88th Academy Awards, Chris Rock introduced Stacey Dash as the "Academy Awards Director of Diversity Outreach."

If the quick shot of The Weeknd, covering his mouth in awe, was any indication, the joke did not sit well with the Oscars crowd on Sunday. Entertainer Chrissy Teigen’s tweet about “making a face” was also pretty priceless.

The “Clueless” actress, whose cousin is former Jay Z manager Damon Dash, has recently got herself snarled in controversy after denouncing Black History Month and calling the #OscarsSoWhite boycott “ludicrous” during her TV appearances as a Fox News contributor last month.
